3DXTech ThermaX™ PEEK

ThermaX PEEK 3D Filament

ThermaX PEEK (PolyEtherEtherKetone) is one of the highest-performance polymers in world. In fact, its one of the highest-performance plastics ever invented. PEEK has exceptional mechanical, thermal, and chemical resistance properties making it a go-to material in some of the most demanding applications where failure is not an option.

Benefits of PEEK Include:

• Inherently flame resistant and self-extinguishing
• Long-term hydrolytic stability even above 250°C
• Outstanding resistance to a broad range of chemicals, including automotive fluids, fully halogenated hydrocarbons, alcohols, and aqueous solutions
• Low smoke and toxic gas emissions
• Excellent dimensional stability with low heat creep, low and uniform coefficient of thermal expansion, giving PEEK highly reproducible part-to-part dimensions
• High thermal properties with a Tg of 143°C, CUT of 240-260°C, and Tm of 343°

Typical PEEK Applications Include:

• Seals, Gears, Bushings, Bearings, Pump and Compressor Components
• Industries Served: Auto, Aerospace, Defense, Semi-conductor, Oil & Gas

Recommended Print Settings:

• Extruder: 375-410°C
• Bed Temp: 130-145°C
• Bed Prep: Nano Polymer Adhesive
• Heated Chamber: Recommended, an enclosure helps reduce warping and improves print success. 70-140°C if at all possible
• Supports: ThermaX™ HTS High-Temp Support is designed to work with complex, high-temp materials just like this
• Drying Instructions: 120°C for 4 hours
